Today's update:

They have spent a good deal of time looking closely at the X bracing on the southwest diagonal wall.  I am assuming the diagonal walls are most subject to the stresses of the new roof so they are paying close attention to them.  Hopefully this is normal and nothing to be worried about.

It looks like they have connected a number of big objects to the top of the crown truss.  It appears they are connecting them close to the middle of each of the diagonal walls.  Do not know what they are.  Maybe hydraulic jacks?  They don't look like any pictures I have seen of these jacks.

To me, most of the activity on the dome floor appears to be focusing on the south side of the cable net, and attaching it to the crown truss above it.  There are at least 5 cables all in close proximity to each other and all of them look like they are connected to the cable net (based on their angles).

Maybe this is the first area they are concentrating on getting connected fully to the crown truss over the next week or two, and we will see the cables from the rest of the crown truss become less vertical and get split up (I think they are all actually two cables) as they get attached to the cable net?

Until I see jacks getting put in place, I can't imagine them starting the process of raising the cable net.
